 Teflon tape as Goldbeater's Skin
Author: DrewSorensenMusic

Hi All,

So I just read "Oboe: A Reed Blown in the Wind" by Marion Whittow. A Great book, lots of adult tips for performance. Not much on reedmaking per say, but tips on how to treat reeds when made. Very English, copyright in 1991, although I could have sworn that it was written in the 70s (not that I was around at that time).

Anyhow, she mention's using Teflon tape as a substitue for Goldbeater's Skin, so I went down to the hardware store and picked up a 1/2 inch roll. I think it works great, but I've never used Goldbeater's Skin. Anyone know of any negatives of using teflon?

Drew S.
